Venkat Sivaprakash

Management Consultant at Accenture

Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions

Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

Using Python in Robocorp enhances performance

In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area. Other products are charged based on the licenses. However, Robocorp is not doing it that way. They are charging based on a run basis. Therefore, in that way, the company might benefit in terms of license costs and the return on investment, considering what they are putting in and what they are getting out of it.

RPA Technical Solution Lead at Infomentum

Helps automate processes but needs to offer different licensing models to users

Right now, I am not working on process mining at the minute. Before I switched to the company, I worked extremely closely with the process mining tool from UiPath, SAP BTP, and the process mining that they had created. I am working with MuleSoft Automation and Anypoint. We are not doing any sort of process mining at the minute, but in my company, because MuleSoft is one of the only RPA tools that we are looking at, we have another application called Appian that we are trying to explore now. Appian has process mining capability, which is why we thought we would look at it along with AI capabilities.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Excel automation is especially helpful because a lot of small companies are still using Excel as their data storage."

"There have been a lot of challenges in terms of interfacing with the customer ERPs. So, we have been building tools and interfaces using bots to write back into these custom ERPs. Specifically, in the area where I work, this has been very helpful."

"The efficiency we get with Automation Anywhere is valuable."

"Automation Anywhere is very easy to handle because it is a low-code platform, so anyone can learn very quickly."

"We are working with one of the bots where we send claims through WhatsApp. Any user could take a photo in WhatsApp, then send that data to the organization. Now, whenever a photo is takes, different phones have different primary resolutions, and the data being captured is not clear data. At that moment, the data is automated to a very power system which centralizes the process to one point. This is what we are using for the insurance provider. They fill out the claims form and send this information to the organization, then we use automation tools to automate the process and come to a conclusion."

"If we talk about the automation RPA, it definitely has worked very well for us, giving good savings of more than 180 FTEs after implementing more than 200 plus bots."

"MetaBot is the most valuable feature. Other products have robotic functionality but MetaBot is a kind of functionality by which code is created... so business users who do not have coding knowledge can drag and drop."

"Several manual, repetitive, time-consuming processes were automated, giving back time to the process owner, and for most of them the process now follows a single standard with additional controls created."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The product has a valuable business process automation feature."

"The process execution and all features are very good."

"The price is good."

"I have worked with UiPath and Automation Anywhere previously. Robocorp offers an improved development style and support as well as flexibility of its tools. You can easily develop custom libraries in Robocorp."

"As a developer, I found it easy to integrate third-party applications with Robocorp. I have previous experience with Selenium, and I found the Robocorp framework to be accessible because it uses Python and Selenium keywords."

"Time complexity is reduced and the execution speed is much higher."

"The ability to create separate organizations on this platform makes it easier to bill each of the clients separately."

"I can use it as a library by importing Python scripts, allowing me to access its many features while working with coding."

More Robocorp pros

"Scalability is fine. It is pretty nice."

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"SAP Contextor has improved our organization by giving us better operational efficiency."

"The standout features of SAP Intelligent RPA are its flexibility and integration capabilities."

"The most valuable feature of SAP Contextor is that everyone is in one place in the program that I need."

"Contextor is a good solution for a Citrix environment. It's the first with this tool. Other tools provide the same functionality, but not with the Citrix environment."

"The initial setup of SAP Contextor is easy."

"It is remarkably easy to configure and code, and it doesn't require an extensive technical background or coding expertise."

More SAP Intelligent RPA pros

Cons

"With Oracle and ServiceNow, there seem to be challenges. With SAP, it worked very well."

"Automation Anywhere can be improved with respect to the user-friendliness of the interface because most of the competitors are now using a flowchart-like structure, thus making it easy for anyone to learn and study it."

"With Oracle, Blue Prism was easier and a little bit more stable than Automation Anywhere. Even with ServiceNow, the automation was very unreliable. It did not work as expected."

"Debugging can be particularly tricky; identifying the exact reasons for bot failures can be time-consuming."

"In the version that we have, there are some challenges with the browser-based applications, the cloning of the objects, and the solution's stability."

"I would like to have a command that allows me to add code, like C#. As a developer, this would be helpful."

"There is definitely some room for improvement there. It is sort of a hit and miss with their support engineers, you have some really good ones and some that aren't."

"They need to improve the stability of the core functionality. If they keep the core constant and constant, they will continue to thrive."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"It would be better if it were more user-friendly for non-technical users. It would be better if they had some drag-and-drop features to create logic."

"The standard libraries in Robocorp should be more advanced."

"We would also like an integrated PDF reader and better integration with custom solutions. The built-in Excel customization is limited, but we can still accomplish what we want using Python. We must rely on Python to customize processes in Robocorp. I don't know about the latest IDE from Robocorp, but the old one doesn't have a lot of activities."

"We use the latest version of the process studio and it takes up a lot of CPU storage. In our case, this has been up to 14 GB of storage."

"I don't like the complexity of deployment."

"The platform's documentation could be better."

"Robocorp is still in development, so most of the keywords are a bit confusing. I have to alter lots of automation steps between processing and development. However, Selenium is due for an update soon, and Robcorp is addressing some of the limitations caused by the previous Selenium version."

"I preferred the user interface in the older versions. When troubleshooting, it's sometimes hard to find details about where things went wrong. You need to search a little harder. It takes more clicks to get to where you want to go. It can be somewhat confusing. When you run a process that fails, it takes you somewhere you may not expect."

More Robocorp cons

"I found that the SAP scripting of a program is easier than SAP Contextor."

"There should be more of an error, like a proper error feature, in future releases. Sometimes, we don't understand why that automation is not learning what, like, where it is stuck, or what is the reason like, or what is the criteria we are missing to add. So a proper error message would be helpful."

"I would like to see a better capacity for unstructured data, for example, PDF, or text within images."

"For potential features or improvements, one aspect I would suggest enhancing is the flexibility of the extraction process."

"One way SAP Intelligent RPA could improve is by integrating built-in DI services for document processing."

"The initial setup is of medium complexity. It is neither too hard nor too simple. You need some background in SAP and an understanding of it."

"The tool's licensing has been kind of a challenge...At the moment, the tool does not offer different licensing models to users."

"The support is expensive."

More SAP Intelligent RPA cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I've seen the price vary by whether the client is going to scale and adopt a tool."

"Our annual licensing costs for the entire company are $100,000."

"The pricing strategy for us is one license for development. It is more complicated than that depending on the options you choose."

"Our pricing a year ago was $600 per license."

"I am not sure about the costs, but two Bot Runners and four Bot Creators may cost approximately 1CR."

"Their overall pricing falls in the middle of the market. Cost-wise, Automation Anywhere is quite expensive because of their analytics, IQ Bots, and MetaBots. For a standalone machine, the pricing is okay. When adding in the licensing for IQ Bots (or MetaBots), it can become quite costly."

"The setup cost depends on multiple factors, so you need to get details before choosing."

"We have seen about a 10 percent monetary savings."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"In terms of licenses, there is a return on investment in that area."

"The product has good pricing."

"The solution is a very affordable price."

"You don't have to pay for the license. You have to pay for the time you use it."

"Robocorp is much better in terms of pricing compared to UiPath."

"The pricing is fine."

"It's a cost-effective solution."

"The price is cheaper than other competitors. I would rate the cost as one out of five."

"The initial cost might seem higher, but over time, with continued use over five or ten years, the cost tends to decrease, making it a more economical choice."

"This is not a tool or software with a license as others are. The SaaS model is based on the usage of the tool."

"It all comes with a bundle right now. Having advanced features, it is competitively priced."

"The pricing is not that expensive. It is manageable."
